Proper preparation and processing can significantly impact the return you get on your plastic. Knowledge of the markets, specifications, grades and other variables that affect plastic value is crucial to maximizing your success. Do you need multiple vertical balers or a large, two-ram solution? Should you shred before processing? OBC can leverage our vast experience in plastic recycling to help you analyze your needs and prescribe the right solution.

Our customized solutions enable you to efficiently shred electronic scrap in your recycling facility and they align perfectly with your recycling system. The granulate size is adjusted such that metals and non-metals can be separated and recycled as best as possible. More than 40 million tons of electrical and electronic scrap are generated annually – and the trend is growing dramatically! Recycling electronic devices is not just beneficial for environmental reasons. This scrap, as a rule, contains many precious metals that are recovered during the recycling process. To ensure a high yield during the recovery process, the shredding should generate only a very low amount of fine particles.

The recycling of disused and obsolete electrical and electronic equipment is gaining more and more importance world-wide.
Waste electrical equipment is an incredibly rewarding source of raw materials. In Waste electrical equipment, up to hundreds of times more precious metals can be found per ton of material than in the primary source of raw material, ore. The goal for TITECH and the industry as a whole is to utilise electronic scrap recycling and sort out pollutants on one hand and profitable components in high purity on the other. For electronic recycling purposes, the EU classifies W??? into 10 categories. After separate collection of TVs, fridges and so on, they are processed and sorted in electronic scrap recycling systems.
The average content of thus gained materials is as follows: metals (50%), plastics (30%), glass (10%) and other materials (10%).

Scrap metal includes metals that can be reclaimed for use in manufacturing, processed for re-melting or prepared for disposal in landfills. These metals include industrial scrap metal and remainders, electronic scrap, aluminum and precious metals. Shredders prepare the metals for bailing and bundling, saving storage space, transportation and disposal costs. Quad shaft shredders reduce and separate electronic scrap and prototypes in one process, allowing for the recovery of precious metals. Dual or quad shaft shredders break bales or briquettes of pre-processed metal scrap for final size reduction and separation for reclamation or re-melting, allowing for recovery and reuse of the metals. Integrated systems include grinders and hammer mills for producing small size or powdered materials for reuse.

Ferrous scrap metal includes metals that can be reclaimed for use through traditional ferrous scrap recovery systems. These metals include a wide variety of light ferrous scrap such as sheet steel, 55 gallon drums, white goods, and other forms of loose tin. Heavier ferrous scrap can be processed through the Saturn hammermill line of shredders which also produce a more consistent, higher density shred. Shredders prepare the metals for further separation or directly to end ferrous scrap consumers. Additional Granutech machinery such as the MAC Magnum Logger, or MAC Big MAC auto crusher can compact and densify larger ferrous items reducing transportation costs.

Clean air is of major importance in food processing and food prep areas. Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including bacteria, allergens, fine dust, odors and VOCs…without producing any harmful ozone. Dynamic Air Cleaners can extend shelf life and reduce scrap by capturing airborne impurities.
